“Black is always in!” 6 Reasons Many M’sians Love the Colour Black & the Role It Plays in Our Everyday Lives

All-black outfits seem to be the go-to OOTD for many Malaysians. Wherever we go, we’re bound to see people wearing black or using black accessories. If you’re not a huge fan of black, keep on reading to find out why so many Malaysians are in love with the colour!

1. We don’t have to worry about stains

How frustrating it is to have curry stains on your shirt while you devour that steamy bowl of curry mee?! Especially when the stubborn stains remain after washing! This is why we love wearing black. Put on your black shirt and pants, and never ever worry about that loose coffee cup lid, or the ballpoint pen that spatters blue inks.

2. We can easily match our accessories 

Whether it’s the gold plated watch, the brown leather belt, or that pair of sunglasses with the silver frame, an all-black suit can easily match these accessories without throwing off the colour profiles of our outfits. Owning a monochromatic wardrobe makes matching outfits a no-brainer for us!

3. It’s suitable for almost any occasion

A bright red button-up shirt might not be appropriate for a job interview, but it can be worn to a casual dinner party. Compared to most bright colours, black can be the appropriate colour choice for most occasions, be it in a workplace, a wedding, or even for a casual night out. No matter the occasion, black attires tend to exude supremacy with an attitude.

4. Black plays an important role in interior design

We heard of painting small rooms white to make them appear larger. But do you know that the same visual effect can be achieved by black paint too? Walls that are painted black reflect less light, and this tends to visually blur the boundaries of the room. Besides, as compared to light-coloured walls, black walls allow decorations such as art pieces, framed photographs, and mirrors to stand out more easily.

5. We enjoy the health benefits of drinking black

Black tea or black coffee can be healthful choices of drinks for our daily caffeine boost, especially when we prefer not to add any sugar. Black tea is rich in antioxidants, which can lower the “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in our bodies, and improve our overall health.

Black coffee, on the other hand, contains essential antioxidants and nutrients for our bodies, such as vitamin B2, vitamin B5, and potassium. It is also found that black coffee can reduce our risks of getting Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

6. We get to look extra classy and professional 

Black colour is often associated with power, status, intelligence, and elegance. From the judges’ robes to graduation mantles, we can totally see how the colour black evokes a sense of prestige and seriousness. Besides wearing black, we can also look confident and professional by using black items, including gadgets, accessories, and even cars. This explains why the protagonists in most action movies always use black gadgets and drive black cars.

Do you remember seeing those cool-looking cars in James Bond movies or Fast & Furious, and wishing to own an all-black car too? While cars with all-black interiors are relatively rare in Malaysia, we’ve just recently heard of a car that can make your dream come true!

We’re talking about the brand-new Honda CR-V Black Edition on the latest 1.5 TC-P 2WD model, which features a classy and all-black interior!

Looks so atas, don’t you think? If you’re already impressed, wait till you find out its advanced safety features and technologies! Here’s everything we LOVE about the car:

• Admire the all-black exterior and interior

Honda CR-V Black Edition comes with a black front grille and a black bumper garnish, leaving two strips of chrome accent on the bumper. The car also features 18-inch black alloy wheels.

It has a similarly black interior too! The headlining and leather seats are all-black, with the words “Black Edition” embroidered on the front seats. Additionally, there are also black air con vents, steering wheel trims, and digital meter panel. These are matched by the black doors, driver’s consoles, and dashboard. This car definitely flaunts an aura of supremacy with an attitude! 

• Ensure the safety of your passengers with Honda SENSING

There’s nothing more important than the safety of you and your loved ones. To protect the driver and passengers, Honda CR-V Black Edition is equipped with Honda SENSING, which is an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).

The car’s convenience features are also worth highlighting. The Hands-Free Power Tailgate allows you to open the tailgate by simply raising your leg towards the sensor beneath the rear bumper. This feature comes in handy especially when you’re carrying two arms full of groceries!

Not only that, the Remote Engine Start enables you to start your car’s engine and operate the air conditioning system before you even enter the car.
